Vicco toothpaste is Indian ayeurvedic, not named after the Italian philosopher (one 'c' as in Vico) ... I love using this toothpaste from time to time; the colour, a musky browny pinky, and it has a kind of stickiness, is a little odd at first, but it only struck me that way the first time I used it over 35 years ago. I love the taste mostly and can somehow FEEL it cleaning my mouth.

Anyone here ever use it? I buy a large tube for about $4 AUD (that's around 5 million USA )

I use the standard tube/box and it looks very cool indeed. Check the ingredients.

Ok, I've used it for a couple of days and already I really like it. Subtle taste, plus I don't need to use much, and most importantly, my teeth feel very clean after use. As long as I can get it I think this will be on my shopping list for a long time! Thanks for the suggestion :0)

It is also cheap where I buy it from. Can have a hint of soapiness at first blush, but it's very good for the gums, too. It REAL toothpaste...not expensive tubed goo whipped full of air and unknown chemicals. Congratulations on leaving the rubbish behind in your life.

Thanks Shaun.
I bought 4 tubes so I'm ok for a while, but when I get onto the third I'll be shopping about for some more. I'm due a dental check up soon, so I'll be interested to see if the dentist makes any comments

There is no lead in Vicco. This toothpaste is manufactured under stringent control conditions. 'Ayurvedic' can mean many things, certainly, as can 'organic' here in the West, or 'natural'; caveat emptor and all that.

I have never seen any issue whatsoever with lead contamination with regard to this toothpaste.

Regarding the post concerning lead, can you point to the testers' reports? I'd be interested in reading them.
